The trail to Pinnacle Saddle is only 2.5 mile RT, about 1000' gain. https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/pinnacle-saddle
From Pinnacle Saddle, we climbed Castle, Pinnacle, and Plummer.
Castle's upper reach is better handled with rope, which I skipped.
Pinnacle is a scrambler's delight, at least its western approach. Not easy, not dangerous either. Keep left on the ridge where the rocks are solid. It's steep. But I was able to walking downhill without having to face in. When I was on Castle, saw a group going up Pinnacle from its eastern ridge. They were using ropes.
Plummer is an easy walk up. Anyone can do.
The views are outstanding.
Current condition: flowers were at their last leg. Fall color already started.
